Connect to SFTP server?

[Bruce Lee, PhD]

Is there any way to use the finder to connect to an sftp server? I've been using macsftp carbon, but I don't really like it so much.

The Finder's FTP browser doesn't support SFTP, as far as I'm aware. Your best bet is to Search Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=SFTP+Mac+OS+X&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) or Search VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=SFTP&plt%5B%5D=macosx&x=13&y=8).

Terminal does, if you don't mind command line. Open Terminal (under Applications | Utilities) then click File, then Connect to Server. Or you can use the shortcut Shift+Command+K.

If you don't like command line interfaces, use fugu (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/)

fugu is okay, but i prefer transmit (http://panic.com/transmit) and cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch) in particular for sftp.

i am with uber and transmit. imho, doing it from terminal invovles a lot of typing i usually don't want to do.

i also recommend transmit if the gui is a must... but nothing beats the command-line sftp ;)

Transmit all the way. best ftp application for ANY platform, EVER.
